Layout is nice, maybe with a cleaner finished banner and a less offensive background it would look nicer

As a first time visitor to your site, I was bewildered. Can you make it so that the about shows up first instead of the lobby?

A few things:

- you should avoid black text on your daskish background
- you should make the body background way more subtle. A subtle gradient or a solid color, I think, would be better
- you should experiment with different text-aligns. Try aligning your nav buttons to the right, for instance. Center aligns are tricky to use (I generally avoid them).
- Consider making your header image smaller. I found it a tad too big
- From my experience, your homepage should be oriented at new visitors, not existing ones. Model your site on the sites of other online games, like Travian.

I hope this doesn't come across as harsh, I am only trying to come up with helpful suggestions. Good luck!

it looks like you created the site from scratch good but look very basic. there are professional site, free to download and modify on wordpress.org, there are others as well. the site are very user friendly so easy to change around.

if it is a game site, then should make it interactive or something on that line.

- background is annoying; change it or make it fixed
- logo is fuzzy; gives me a headache trying to focus

Good on you for going from scratch. It isn't easy. I'm sorry but nobody is really going to take this site seriously in my opinion. It just looks too dated. Maybe look in to some free templates and see iof you can modify one to suit your needs.

Good luck and keep it up!!

It looks boring, sorry.. it's too basic. You can create a nice design and convert it with http://www.divine-project.com/beta-testers into WordPress and then modify it if required. it is a game website, so it should be attractive. Good luck!

Hi all, this is my first post.

Your site looks very basic and doesn't give the user any reason to stay. Actually it looks incomplete in many ways.

Score: 2/10

very tiresome color scheme. not exciting at all. plus i see some sort of code on the right side that stays with every page and the lobby has no content and when i go from any other page back to the lobby the word lobby shows up but the previous page stays on.
